We are learning about the past and comparing it to the present. We read The Joesefina Story Quilt. This story is about a young pioneer girl and her family's adventures on their way to California. We will continue our study of the past and present for part of next week.
Our study of the past will lead us into learning about Needs and Wants. We touched upon this a bit this past week when we discussed that Faith and her family could only take what they needed on their trip west. We are working on our mid-year Math Assessment. We are showing what we have learned as well as moving into some new learning. We will begin to work on time and on working with adding two digit and 1 digit numbers. As the children are exposed to adding two digits, we are also continually working on automatic recall of our facts to 10. Your child is automatic with a fact is he/she can give the answer within 3 seconds. January and February can be a time of illness. I am happy to put a few papers together for your child when they are absent, but I will also direct you to the Reading and Math site. www.connected.mcgraw-hill.com/school/h8x0 From here your child can access the reading and math that we are currently working on. All of the books, spelling, grammar, and math concepts are right there. This is also where you can access the "School to Home" letters that will support what we are learning in the classroom. I encourage you to use this site weekly. Your child's card has been sent home previously, and it is likely that they know their passwords by now, as we do use the site here at school too. However, if you'd like another card sent home, please let me know. We will be having a Valentine Party and the information on that can be found at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0C4CACAD28A3F94-valentines I will send a class list home week for Valentines. As part of our engineering and design curriculum, we will be making Valentine Mailboxes here at school. Information on materials will be sent home this week too. Comments are closed.
